Whenever a White UK Doctor does Something Unique , he is Institutionally Labelled a Genius , a Sage and a Saint.

On the Other Hand , whenever a Black UK Doctor does Something Unique , he is Institutionally Labelled a Quack , a Fantasist , a Lunatic and an Imbecile ; irrespective of any Overwhelming Evidence to the Contrary.

Abstract

Objectives : To evaluate whether country of medical qualification is associated with “higher impact” decisions at different stages of the UK General Medical Council’s (GMC’s) “fitness to practise” process after allowing for other characteristics of doctors and inquiries.

Design : Retrospective cohort study.

Setting : Medical practice in the United Kingdom.

Participants : 7526 inquiries to the GMC concerning 6954 doctors.

Main Outcome Measures : Proportion of inquiries referred for further investigation at initial triage by the GMC, proportion of inquiries investigated that were subsequently referred for adjudication, and proportion of inquiries resulting in doctors being erased or suspended from the medical register; relative odds of higher impact decisions, by country of qualification, adjusted for doctors’ sex, years since primary medical qualification, medical specialty, source and type of inquiry, and nature of allegations.

Results : Of 7526 inquiries, 4702 concerned doctors who qualified in the UK, 624 concerned doctors who qualified elsewhere in the European Union (EU), and 2190 concerned doctors who qualified outside the EU. At the initial triage, 30% (n=1398) of inquiries concerning doctors who qualified in the UK had a high impact decision, compared with 43% (267) for doctors who qualified elsewhere in the EU and 46% (998) for those who qualified outside the EU. The adjusted relative odds of an inquiry being referred for further investigation were 1.67 (95% confidence interval 1.28 to 2.17) for doctors who qualified elsewhere in the EU and 1.61 (1.38 to 1.88) for those who qualified outside the EU, compared with doctors who qualified in the UK. At the investigation stage, 5% (228) of inquiries received concerning UK qualified doctors were referred for adjudication, compared with 10% for EU (63) or non-EU (221) qualified doctors. The adjusted relative odds of referral for adjudication were 2.14 (1.46 to 3.16) for doctors who qualified elsewhere in the EU and 1.68 (1.31 to 2.16) for those who qualified outside the EU. At the adjudication stage, 1% (69) of inquiries received concerning UK qualified doctors led to erasure or suspension, compared with 4% (24) for doctors who qualified elsewhere in the EU and 3% (71) for non-EU qualified doctors. The adjusted relative odds of erasure or suspension were 2.16 (1.22 to 3.80) for doctors who qualified elsewhere in the EU and 1.48 (1.00 to 2.19) for those who qualified outside the EU.

Conclusions : Inquiries to the GMC concerning doctors qualified outside the UK are more likely to be associated with higher impact decisions at each stage of the fitness to practice process. These associations were not explained by measured inquiry related and doctor related characteristics, but residual confounding cannot be excluded.

Chuka Umunna

Congrats on your 5th annniversary of holding a full eu medical licence , and thank you for competently treating one of our relatives in your private (european union) clinic.

We knew your late father when you all lived at pathfield road , near streatham common in London SW16 ; many decades ago.

Please therefore duly feature the above story , even though we know that chuka umunna's late father was one of your Daddy's best friends - long before they acrimoniously parted ways a few months prior to when he got married to chuka's mother.

Dr Khan was a very good doctor NOT A TERRORIST , and we are not happy with the way chuka refused to help us during our time of need.

* In my opinion , I personally think that Chuka Umunna did not (fundamentally) handle this matter properly ; most probably because in 2013 he may not have been as Politically Mature as one would have wished.

* Let this be a Lesson to you all : Black UK Politicians are not always (necessarily) as helpful as one would expect , most especially during Times of Crisis.

* Black Voters , (plus others), duly elected Chuka into Power as their MP - So it is better to Deal with it via the Ballot Box if you are not happy with his Stewardship.

To This Effect , We Will Not Tolerate Any Form of External Aggression from Any Quarters Whatsoever ; most especially from Certain (Highly Developed) Countries which are Currently Selling their National Passports (and National Honours) to the Highest Financial Bidders.

I sincerely hope that this Exceedingly Blunt Statement fundamentally clarifies this issue.

A former president of the Irish Hospital Consultants’ Association has been found guilty of “poor professional performance” by a fitness to practice inquiry of the Medical Council.

Dr Colm Quigley is the clinical director at Wexford General Hospital and is himself a former president of the Medical Council.

The findings will now be forwarded to the board of the Medical Council who will deliberate and decide on what sanctions – if any – will be imposed on Dr Quigley.

The finding of poor professional performance of a doctor is distinct from from from the more serious accusation of “professional misconduct”, which was not levelled against him.

The case relates to a patient – known only as Patient X – who was referred by his GP to Dr Quigley’s private clinic at the Ely Hospital at Ferrybank, Co Wexford on August 27, 2009.

Patient X was said to have been suffering from a number of complaints including low sodium in the blood.

After the consultation, Dr Quigley wrote to Patient X’s GP and said he would be carrying out a series of tests on Patient X. These tests were never carried out.
Patient X died of inoperable lung cancer on April 16th, 2011. There is no allegation that Dr Quigley caused deterioration in the patient’s health or in any way contributed to his death.

Dr Quigley told the inquiry he believed subsequent examination of medical records had shown Patient X had not contracted the cancer that killed him in 2010 – and so the missing tests in 2009 could not have revealed it.

However, the committee found Dr Quigley was guilty of “poor professional performance” in failing to arrange the tests, failing to recognise the tests had not been carried out, and failing to have “any adequate system” in place for tracking or monitoring tests.

He was also guilty of failing to “respond adequately” to letters and phone calls over a number of months by Patient X, his wife, and his GP enquiring as to why the tests had not yet been carried out.

It was proven beyond reasonable doubt that Dr Quigley, in or after the first consulation in August, failed to “ensure” the tests were carried out – but this was not deemed to constitute “poor professional performance”.

Dr Quigley was found not guilty of allegations that at consultations in August and December 2009, he failed to take “any adequate history” or undertake “any adequate examination” of Patient X.

He was also found not guilty of an allegation that he “failed to maintain adequate records in respect of the care afforded” to Patient X.

During closing statements, Neasa Bird, for the Medical Council, said Dr Quigley had been unable to provide an explanation or excuse as to why the series of tests were not carried out.

The crux of the prosecution case hung on the argument that Dr Quigley had not been responsible for one mistake, but “a series of errors over a long period of time”. She said this amounted to a case of poor professional performance.

In his closing statement, Paul Anthony McDermott, counsel for Dr Quigley, said his client’s position was the same as it had been from the outset – that “a mistake” had occurred.

He said Dr Quigley had an otherwise “unblemished” record.

“What this case does establish is that paper-based systems can go wrong. Ireland is moving towards computer-based systems which should ensure that something like this never happens again.”

He said it was “ironic” that Dr Quigley was the subject of an inquiry having “spent much of his time protecting patients in the role as clinical director (at Wexford General Hospital)”.

Concerning allegations from the Medical Council that Dr Quigley had implicated himself with an admission that his handling of Patient X had “fallen below (his) standards”, Mr McDermott said this was “unfair”.

“His standards are unusually high and he has been a perfectionist. It’s unfair to turn that approach on him and use his own evidence to condemn him. He said ‘I wanted to do better’ and that is being used against him.”

The committee heard Dr Quigley has made “significant changes” to his practice, including the reduction of the number of patients he sees. “He is making changes to make sure this never happens again,” added Mr McDermott.

Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi : Official Statement in relation to the New GMC Doctors License

" I have said this very many times before . . . and I will boldly say it again .

In my exceedingly humble regulatory opinion ; all UK Medical Doctors must urgently seek Independent Legal Advice before foolishly signing away the bulk of their Professional Practising Rights ; under the New General Medical Council Licensing Scheme.

Do not be Deceived (or Swayed or Hood-winked) by the GMC'sUtterly Shameless Bunch of High Profile Doctors ; as almost all of them have already Selfishly Barteredtheir Support for Rabid GMC Policy in Sordid Exchange forLifelong (Behind-the-Scenes) Immunityfrom GMC Investigations.

It is your due right to comprehensively educate yourself concerning Basic Relevant Health Issues and Helpful General Medical Knowledge.

You also duly have the unquestionable right to lawfully seek Helpful (Wellness and Wellbeing) Information ; with the Ultimate Aim of making wise use of it for your own benefit, and that of your family.

Always remember that You are the main person who is fundamentally responsible for your (very own) Health.

However , in order to make Sensible Decisions in all Health Matters, you must appropriately educate yourself.

The Informational Views , Educational Material and General Clinical Support Guidelines expressed by us are not intended to be a substitute for Conventional Medical (or Health) Services.

Our Wellness Practice is Fundamentally Different from many others (out there) because we always encourage the Lawful Use of Approved DIY Clinical Monitoring Equipment (and Home Testing Kits) ; so that our Clients Progress can be Jointly Monitored.

If you have a Severe Medical Condition (or Emergency) , then you must urgently contact your Nearest Hospital.

It is therefore Exceptionally Unfortunate that the General Medical Council is currently waging a Shameless Racist War against (Hard-Working) Foreign Doctors ; most especially when (to date) almost all of Britain's Major Medical Murderers have been White UK Citizens (with Strong GMC Connections) - who gleefully graduated from (Disproportionately-White) UK Medical Schools. "

*The Medical Licensing Commission is ABOVE the General Medical Council . . .

" Over the past few weeks ,(or so) , I have received very many hundreds of emails from countless Tabloid Journalists who claim that Wreckless Busybodies at the General Medical Council (GMC) have been advising them that the Medical Licensing Commission is somehow subject to the racist whims (and filthy caprices) of the GMC.

I would therefore like to make it abundantly clear (to all and sundry) that the Medical Licensing Commission is the Paramount Regulatory Body for a whole new Clinical Profession altogether.

We remain Ethically (and Robustly) Confident that Licensed Holders of the Brand New Alternative Medicine Doctor Designationshould not be Significantly Affected (Financially) whenever New European Union Regulations formidably come into force in the Year 2011.

On January the 1st 2011 ; Appraisal Fees for the the DR(AM)Title will Automatically Triple.

* Immediate Setting Aside of all previous Regulatory Decisions which are unrelated to the MLC ; thus making them totally irrelevant for the purposes of MLC Licensing .

* Accelerated Clinical Retraining and Certification (30 Intensive Residential Training Days). The Full 30 Days will be spent at a wide range of MLC-Approved Alternative Medicine Clinics in either Europe , Asia or America .

" It has sadly come to my notice that certain Outrageously Unscrupulous Barristers working for the General Medical Council (GMC) have been collecting Professional Fees of up to (and around) £10,000 Per Day (or more) to corruptly commit perjury ; in a desperate bid to maliciously wreck the fragile careers of a particular group of UK Medical Doctors.

I would therefore want to firmly advise all Affected Doctors to immediately report such actions directly to the Police - irrespective of whatever Legal Advice they may receive.

Once this matter is formally reported to the Police , the Affected Doctors must obtain a Reference Number from the Police , to enable the case be adequately regulated by the Independent Police Complaints Authority in the event of the matter not being fairly attended to ; as some of these Bribed Individuals also serve as Part-TimeHigh Court Judges , Magistrates and Employment Tribunal Chairmen .

It is your due right to comprehensively educate yourself concerning Basic Relevant Health Issues and Helpful General Medical Knowledge.

You also duly have the unquestionable right to lawfully seek Helpful (Wellness and Wellbeing) Information ; with the Ultimate Aim of making wise use of it for your own benefit, and that of your family.

Always remember that You are the main person who is fundamentally responsible for your (very own) Health.
